Cover for a gay lover gone seriously awry, IMO. Sad that they felt this was preferable to just coming out.

he obviously has some BIG TIME mental health issues to fabricate such a story and this will probably cost him some big time $$$'s

Maybe he is hiding something about his personal life that he is NOT comfortable exposing.

maybe he should go see a psychiatrist and sort through these issues

maybe he should have gone to UW

"Notre Dame Statement: Manti Te’o

On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia. The University immediately initiated an investigation to assist Manti and his family in discovering the motive for and nature of this hoax. While the proper authorities will continue to investigate this troubling matter, this appears to be, at a minimum, a sad and very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.

I call BULLSHIT!! it's obvious he knew the whole time, and said they met up a bunch!! They are using Dec. 26th to make it look like this has been going on before the story got released, but really they are just trying to cover their asses!

Herm? HeShe?

Don't ask me why, but I saw part of that movie Catfish and this is exactly what happened to him. Only it was some middle-aged lady concocting a bunch of "friends" and "relatives" instead of some weird preacher.
